On Impact in Software Engineering Research (Dagstuhl 2020)

CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security

Joe recently teamed up with IBM and Aginity to create a proof of concept "Moneyball" app for the IBM Think conference in Vegas. The original goal was to prove that different tools (e.g. H2O, Aginity AMP, IBM Data Science Experience, R and Shiny) could work together seamlessly for common business use-cases. Little did Joe know, the app would be used by Ari Kaplan (the real "Moneyball" guy) to validate the future performance of some baseball players. Ari recommended one player to a Major League Baseball team. The player was signed the next day with a multimillion-dollar contract. This talk is about Joe's journey to a real "Moneyball" application.

Andreas Zeller, On Impact in Software Engineering Research Abstract: After 25 years in research, I am happy to have had some impact in Software Engineering Research - some of it on purpose, some of it accidentally. In this talk, I summarize six important lessons I have learned: Work on a real problem, assume as little as possible, keep things simple, have a sound model, keep on learning, and keep on moving. Bio: Andreas Zeller is a full professor for Software Engineering at Saarland University in Saarbrücken, Germany, since 2001. His research concerns the analysis of large software systems and their development process. In 2010, Zeller was inducted as Fellow of the ACM for his contributions to automated debugging and mining software archives, for which he also was awarded 10-year impact awards from ACM SIGSOFT and ICSE. In 2011, he received an ERC Advanced Grant, Europe's highest and most prestigious individual research grant, for work on specification mining and test case generation. In 2013, Zeller co-founded Testfabrik AG, a start-up on automatic testing of Web applications, where he chairs the supervisory board. In 2018, he received the Outstanding Research Award from ACM SiGSOFT.

In the machine learning community, we're trained to think of size as inversely proportional to bias, driving us to ever larger datasets, increasingly complex model architectures, and ever better accuracy scores. But bigger doesn't always mean better. What data quality issues emerge in large datasets? What complications surface as features become more geodistributed (e.g., diurnal patterns, seasonal variations, datetime formatting, multilingual text, etc.)? What happens as models attempt to extrapolate bigger and bigger patterns? Why is it that the pursuit of megamodels has driven a wedge between the ML definition of “bias” and the more colloquial sense of the word? Perhaps the time has come to move away from monolithic models that reduce rich variations and complexities to a simple argmax on the output layer and instead embrace a new generation of model architectures that are just as organic and diverse as the data they seek to encode.

Successful Human Machine Interaction (HMI) solutions need to feature three 'I's (Intuitive, Interactive, and Intelligent) in their applications as they are key success factors to ensure superior user experience for our future products. Augmented Reality (AR) as a core HMI topic is on its way to become more practical. In this talk, Liu discusses the real-world HMI challenges for industrial AR applications and present our recent advances at Bosch to address the needs of these three 'I's. Bosch sees that many of these HMI challenges (i.e. dynamic occlusion handling, robust tracking, and easy content generation) are closely related to typical AI tasks such as scene perception and understanding. Sensor-aware approaches that leverage sensor knowledge and machine learning methods are effective to address these challenges.

In this talk at AI Frontiers Conference, Alex Smola gives a brief overview over the features used to scale deep learning using MXNet. It relies on a mix between declarative and imperative programming to achieve efficiency while also allowing for significant flexibility for the user. It relies on a distributed (key, value) store for synchronization between GPUs and between machines. It also relies on the separation between a highly efficient execution engine and language bindings to achieve a high degree of flexibility between different languages while offering a native feel in each of them. Alex also briefly discusses how Amazon AWS can help deploy deep learning models and outline steps on our future roadmap.

In recent years, machine learning has undoubtedly been hugely successful in driving progress in AI applications. However, as we will explore in this talk, even state-of-the-art systems have "blind spots" which make them generalize poorly out of domain and render them vulnerable to adversarial examples. We then suggest that more unsupervised learning settings can encourage the development of more robust systems. We show positive results on two tasks: (i) text style and attribute transfer, the task of converting a sentence with one attribute (e.g., sentiment) to one with another; and (ii) solving SAT instances (classical problems requiring logical reasoning) using end-to-end neural networks.

As the data and models scale, it becomes necessary to have multiple processing units for both training and inference. SignSGD is a gradient compression algorithm that only transmits the sign of the stochastic gradients during distributed training. This algorithm uses 32 times less communication per iteration than distributed SGD. We show that signSGD obtains free lunch both in theory and practice: no loss in accuracy while yielding speedups. Pushing the current boundaries of deep learning also requires using multiple dimensions and modalities. These can be encoded into tensors, which are natural extensions of matrices. These functionalities are available in the Tensorly package with multiple backend interfaces for large-scale deep learning.
